Nearly thirty countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America declared formal independence in the 1960s alone. Arguing that the significance of this wave of deco…

Forum Introduction
This introduction observes that claims that the 2008 election of President Barack Obama heralded the dawn of a "postracial" moment in US history have proved false in the intervening years. In addition to the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, greater awareness of widening wealth and income inequality, and environmental crises, a number of incidents call attention to the continued significance of white privilege and white supremacy. This does n…
Black Ops
Black Ops: Black Masculinity and the War on Terror" argues that pop culture representations of black masculinity over the last ten years have worked to justify the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the larger US war on terror by paradoxically linking the civil rights movement and the larger history of US racial oppression to US Empire. Through an analysis of Colin Powell's 2003 testimony in front of the UN Security Council, the television show The…

In July 1959, LeRoiJones (later Amiri Baraka) and Harold Cruse traveled to Cuba, where they witnessed the Rebel Army becoming the new Cuban government. That trip shaped Cruse's and Jones’ ideas about the relationship between First World protest and Third World revolution.
